There were three of them, all of shining black leather, one on the top of the pile of trunks, one on the ground, and one in the owner’s hand—all going to Philadelphia, all waiting to be checked. The last bell rang. The baggage man bustled, fuming from one pile of baggage to another, dispensing chalk to trunks, checks to the passengers, and curses to porters, in approved railway style. « Mine—Philadelphia!” cried a stout mili tary looking man, with enormous whiskers and a red face, crowding forward, as the baggageman laid his hand on the first tra veling bag. “ Won’t you please to give me a check for this, now ? r ’ entreated a pale, slender, care fully dressed young man, for the ninth time, holding out baggage No. 2; I have a lady to look after.” “Snv! be you agoiu’ to give me a check for this ’ere or not ?” growled the proprietor of bag No. ;j, a short, pock-marked fellow, in a shabby overcoat. “ All right, gentlemen. Here you are,” says the functionary, rapidly distributing the checks. Philadelphia, this? Yes sir— -2093—1740—1030. All right.” All aboard !” shouted the conductor. “ Whoo-wliew!” responded the locomotive, and the train moved slowly out of the sta tion house. Tlie baggage man meditatively watched it as it sped away in the distauee, and then as if a thought suddenly struck him, slap ped his thlgii and exclaimed: “ Blest, if 1 don’t believe —” “ What?”inquired the switchman. “ That I’ve gone and gave them three last fellers the'wrong checks. The cussed little black things were all alike, and they bother ed me.” “Telegraph,” said the switchman. “ Never yon mind,” replied the baggage man. “ They was all going to Philadelphy. They will find it out when tlicy get there.” They did. The scene shifts to Continental Hotel, Philadelphia. Front parlor, up stairs. Oc cupants, the young gentleman alluded to as No. 2, and young lady. In accordance with the fast usages of the times, the twain hail been made oue in holy matrimony at 7:20, a. m., duly kissed and congratulated till 8:15, put aboard the’pxpress at 8:45, and deposit ed, bag and baggage, at the Continental, at 11:58. They were seated pn the sofa, the black broadclbth coatslecye encircling the slender waist of the gray traveling dress, and the jetty moustache iu equally affectionate proximity to the glossy curls. “ Are you tired, dearest ?” “ No, love, .not much. But you are, aren’t you?” ' v ' “ No, darling.” Kiss and a pause. “ Don’t It seem funny ?” said the lady. “ What, love ?” “ That we should be married.” “ Yes, darling.” “Won’t they be glad to see us at George’s?” “ Os course' they will.” “ I’m sure I shall enjoy it so much. Shall we get there to-night ?” “ Yes, love, if—” Rap, rap, at the door. A hasty separation took place between man and wife, to opposite ends of the sofa ; gad then; eri-tUcckln “ Come in.” “ An’ ye plaze, sur, it’s an M. P. is wait ing to see ye/..” “To see me—a policeman ?”. “ Yes, sir.” “ There must be some mistake.-” “ No, sur, it’s yourself; and lie’s waiting in the hall beyaut.” “ Well, I’ll go to—no, tell him to come here.” % “ Sorry to disturb you, sir,” said the M. P., with a large brass star on his breast,ap pearing witli great alacrity at the waiter's elbow. “I believe this is your black valise?” “ Yes, that is ours, certainly. It is Julia’s —the lady’s things are in it.” “ Suspicious circumstances about that valise, sir. Telegraph came this morning that a burglar started on the 8:45 Philadel phia train with a lot of silver spoons in a black valise. Spoons marked T. B. Watched at the ferry. Followed it up here. Took a peep inside. Sure enough there were the spoons ; marked T. 8., too. Said it was yours. Shall have to take you iu charge.” “ Take me in charge ?” echoed the bride groom. “ But I assure you, my dear sir, there is some mistake—it’s all a* mistake.” “ S’pose you’ll be able to account for the spoons being in your valise, then ?” “ Why—l—it isn’t mine; it must be some body elsc’s ; somebody lias put them there ; it is Some villainous conspiracy.” “ Hope you’ll be able to tell a straighter story before the magistrate, young man; ’cause if you don’t, you stand a smart chance of being sent up for six months.” “O, Charles! this is horrid. Do send him away. Oh dear ! I wish I was home,” sobbed the little bride. “ t fed you, sir,” said the bridegroom, bristling up with indignation, “ this is a vile plot. What would 1 be doing witii your paltry spoons? I was married tills morning, iu Fifth avenue, and lam on my wedding tour. 1 have high relations in New York. You’ll repent it if you dare to arrest me.” “Oh, come now," said the incredulous official, “ I’ve heard stories like that before. This ain’t the first time swindlers has trav eled in couples. Do you s’pose I don’t know nothing ? ’Taint no use ; you’ve just got to come along to the station house. Might as well go peaceably, ’cause you have to.” “Charles, this is perfectly dreadful! Our wedding night in the station house 1 Do send for somebody. Send for the landlord to explain it.” The landlord was sent for and came ; the waiters and chambermaids and bar-room loungers came without being sent for, and tilled the room and adjoining hall—some to laugh and some to say they wouldn’t have believed it, but nearly all to exult that the unhappy pair had been “ found out.” No explanation could be given, and the upshot was, in spite of tears, threats, entreaties, rage and expostulations, the unfortunate newly married pair were taken in charge by the relentless ;>olicc and marched down stairs cn route to the police office. And here let the curtain drop on the mel ancholy scene, while we follow the fortunes of the black valise No. 2. When the train stopped at Camden, four gentlemen got off and walked arm-in-arm, rapidly and silently, up one of the by-streets and struck oh' into a foot-path leading to a secluded grove outside the town. Os the first two one was our military friend in a blue coat, apparently the leader of the par ty. Os the second two, one was carrying a black valise. Their respective companions walked with hasty irregular strides, were abstracted and apparently ill at ease. The party stopped. “ This is the place,” said Captain Jones. “ Yes,” said Doctor Smith. Tiie Captain and the Doctor conferred together. Tli<> other two studiously k, pt apart. “Very well. I’ll measure the ground, and do you place your man.” It was done. “ Now for the pistols,” whispered the Captain to his fellow second. “ They arc all ready in the valise,” replied the Doctor. The principals were placed ten paces apart, and wore that decidedly uncomforta ble air a man has who is in the momentary expectation of being shot dead. “You will tire, gentlemen, simultane ously, when I give the word,” said the Captain. Then in an undertone to the Doctor— “ Quick, the pistols.” The Doctor, stooping over and fumbling at the valise, appeared to discover some thing which surprised him. “ Why, what the devil—” “ What’s the matter?” asked the Captain, striding up. “Can’t you lind the caps?” “Deuce a pistol or cap but this.” He belli up—a lady’s night cap. “ Look here—and here—and here!” hold ing up, successively, a hair-brush, a long White night-gown, a cologne bottle and a comb. They were greeted with a long whistle by the Captain, and a blank stare by the prin cipals. “ Confound the luck,” ejaculated the Cap tain-*, “ if we haven’t made a mistake, and brought the wrong valise.” The principals looked at the secouds. The seconds looked at the principals. No body volunteered a suggestion. At last the Doctor inquired : “ Well, What is to be done ?” “ D—d unlucky!” again ejaculated the Captain—" the duel can t go on.” “ Evidently not,” responded the Doctor, “ unless they brain each other with the hair brush, or take a pop at each other with the cologne bottle.” “ You are quite sure there are no pistols in the valise ?” said one of the principals, with suppressed eagerness, and drawing ti long breath of evident relief. “We must go over to the city and get the pistols," proposed Lire Captain! “And by that time it will be dark,” said the Doctor. “ D—d unlucky !” “We shall lie the laughing stock of the town,” consolingly remarked the Doctor, “ if this gets wind.” “ One word witli you, Doctor,” here inter posed the principal. They conferred. At the end of the conference with his prin cipal, the Doctor advanced to the Captain and conferred with him. Then the Captain conferred with his principal. Then the seconds held a conference with each other. Finally, it was formally agreed between this contending parties that a statement would be drawn up in writing, whereby principal No. 1 tendered the assurance that the offensive words, “ You are a liar,” were not used by him in any personal sense, but sojely as an abstract proposition, in a geu eril way, in regard to the matter of fact under dispute. To which principal No. 2 appended his statement of his high grati fication at this candid and honorable ex planation, and unqualifiedly withdrew the offensive words, “ You are a scoundrel,” they having been used by him under a mis apprehension of the intent and purpose of the remark which had preceded them. There being no longer a cause for quarrel, the duel was of course ended. The princi pals shook hands, first with each other, next with the seconds, and were evidently very glad to get out of it. “ And now that it is so happily settled," said the Doctor, chuckling and rubbing his hands, “ it proves to have been a lucky mis take, after all, that we In-ought the wrong valise. Wonder what the lady who owns it will say, when she opens ours and finds thq pistols.” - “ Very well for you to laugh about,” growled the Captain, “ but it’s iio joke for me to lose my pistols, Hair triggers—best English make, and gold mounted. There ain’t a finer pair of shooters in America.” “O, we will find them. We will go on a pilgrimage from house to house-, asking if any lady there has lost a night cap and found a pair of dueling pistols.” In very good spirits the party crossed the river, and inquired at the baggage room in reference to each and all black leather trav eling bags that arrived that flay—took notes of where they were sent, and set out to follow them up. In due time they reached the Continental, and as luck would have it, met the unhappy bridal pair just coming down stairs in charge of the policeman. “What’s the meaniug of all this?” in quired the Captain. “ O, a couple of burglars, caught with a valise of stolen property.” “ A valise !—what kind of valise ?” “A black leather valise. That is it, there.” “ Here !—Stop ! —llaloo ! —Policeman ! Landlord! It’s all right! You are all wrong ! That is my valise. It is all a mistake. They got chauged at the depot. That lady and gentleman are innocent. Here is their valise, with her night cap in it !” Great was the laughter, multifarious the comments and deep the interest of the crowd in all this dialogue, which they appeared to regard as a delightful enter tainment got up expressly for their amuse ment. “ Then you say this here thing is yours ?” said the policeman, relaxing his hold upon the bridegroom, and confronting the Captain. “ Yes, it is mine.” “ And how did you come by these spoons ?” “Spoons, you jackanapes!” said the Cap tain, “ dueling pistols.” “Do you call these pistols ?” said the policeman, holding up to view one of the silver spoons, marked T. B. The Captain, astonished, gasped, “ it is the wrong valise again, after all.” “ Stop, not so fast!” said the police func tionary, now invested with great dignity by the importance of the affair he found him self engaged in. “Ifso be how you’ve got the lady’s valise, she is all right, and can go. But in that case this is yours, and it conics on you to account for them as stolen spoons. Have to take you in charge, all four of yc. “ Why, you impudent scoundrel!” roared the Captain, “ I’ll see you in ; I wish I had my pistols here ; I’d teach you to insult a gentleman !” shaking his flst. The dispute waxed last and furious. The outsiders began to take part in it; and there is 110 telling how it would have ended, had not an explosion lollowcd by a heavy fall and a scream of pain, been heard in an adjoining room. The crowd rushed to the scene of the new attraction. The door was fast. It was soon burst open and the mystery explained. The thief who had' carried off the Captain’s valise by mistake for his own, had taken it up to his room and opened it to gloat over the booty he supposed it to contain, thrusting his hands in after tiie spoons. In doing so the pistol had gone oft', the bullet making a round hole through the side of the valise, and corresponding hole in the calf of his leg. The wounded rascal was taken in charge first by the policeman, and then by the Doctor ; and the duelists and the wedding pair struck up a friendship on the score of their mutual mishap, which culminated in a supper, where the fun was abundant, and where it would lx: hard to say which was in tiic best spirits, the Captain for recover ing his pistols, the bride for getting his nightcap, the bridegroom for escaping the station house, or the duelists for Escaping each other. All resolved to “ mark that day witii a white stone,” and henceforth to mark their names on their black traveling bags in white letters. WOOL. WOOL.
